Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Committee
Proactively identifying areas that require improvement to better foster inclusion; a welcoming and respectful
environment where all members feel valued, and a sense of belonging and engagement. Currently focused on
creating changes that remove barriers so that each member has equal access to opportunities and resources
that support achieving their full potential.
The mission is to ensure the CAPDT is a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization for all individuals to
equally engage, be valued and respected.
What We Do
The DEIB Committee surveys members on their personal experiences, develops programs to actively recruit a diversity of trainers into membership, investigates DEIB training opportunities for CAPDT volunteers and members, and educates the CAPDT membership on DEIB. The committee also works with other CAPDT committees and the Board to develop collaborative partnerships on DEIB issues.
You don’t need previous DEIB committee experience to contribute. We welcome CAPDT members who are interested in helping us build a stronger, more inclusive professional community.
Committee members typically meet online every one to three months, with additional collaboration taking place by email and through CAPDT’s online community.
